"I'm Shipping Up to Boston, whoa!"

I'm shipping up to Boston in two weeks, but not to find my wooden leg! Although Virginia is my home, New England holds my roots (I bleed Boston Red, y'all!), and I'm excited to go back for a quick weekend visit in celebration of my uncle's wedding. Mr. Gypsy has only visited Massachusetts three times - twice for a funeral - so this will be a much more joyous occasion, and hopefully I'll be able to show him the beauties of the New England countryside and coastline.

We'll be flying in on a Friday and leaving around 6pm on Sunday, so we should have some time for sight-seeing before and after the wedding festivities! I'm thinking the Salem coastline will be gorgeous in May...

But more than anything, I will be exceedingly happy to spend time with my relatives, most of whom I hardly see once every one to two years, and to share in the joy of the newlyweds on their special day!

Have you been to New England or Boston? What are some of your favorite sites?

Apparently my mother took me to the historical sites when I was a kid (I dimly remember the blue line painted on the sidewalk for the Freedom Trail), but my memories are very vague. I'm ready to rekindle my love for New England and to attempt to show Mr. Gypsy why I am such a huge Red Sox fan!

I've never been there but I always imagined it to be just like in those TV series that played there like Gilmore Girls and Providence :D Well until I found out that they have been produced in LA like any other US TV series but still, I would love to visit! ;)
